Lacewood

Lacewood is from Australia.  It's also known as silky-oak.  It is not an endangered wood.  

It is a nice wood to work with, other than that sawn edges will give you splinters.  Very sharp tools are essential.  

Lacewood dust is mildly toxic and can cause skin irritation in some people.

Lacewood's distinctive grain and color is reminiscent of mahogany.
